TY - JOUR T1 - How Can African Agriculture Adapt to Climate Change? A Counterfactual Analysis from Ethiopia JF - Land Economics JO - Land Econ SP - 743 LP - 766 DO - 10.3368/le.89.4.743 VL - 89 IS - 4 AU - Salvatore Di Falco AU - Marcella Veronesi Y1 - 2013/11/01 UR - http://le.uwpress.org/content/89/4/743.abstract N2 - We analyze the impact of different adaptation strategies on crop net revenues in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia. We estimate a multinomial endogenous switching regression model of climate change adaptation and crop net revenues and implement a counterfactual analysis. Households data are combined with spatial climate data. We find that adaptation to climate change based upon a portfolio of strategies significantly increases farm net revenues. Changing crop varieties has a positive and significant impact on net revenues when coupled with water conservation strategies or soil conservation strategies, but not when implemented in isolation.
